Property # 8459


Property Description
Penthouse Style is an elegantly decorated apartment on one of Rome's grand boulevards offering beautiful and comfortable surroundings, as well a private roof terrace in the heart of the eternal city.

Property Details
Penthouse Style has been furnished with taste and sophistication and the overall effect is stunning.

It contains an extensive art collection that mixes tribal and contemporary pieces. The lighting is excellent, and double pane glass gives protection from street noise.

On the 5th and top floor (with elevator), it has about 1,300 square feet of indoor space. The entrance hall leads directly to a split-level living room with fine furniture pieces and built-in banquettes.

The large bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed, covered with a beige raw-silk bead spread and a Lapin fur throw and two Louis XVI side chairs. A long built-in desk with TV and Fax machine is set below a large window, hung with roman shades (as are all the other windows in the apartment).

The Master bathroom (tub with wall-mounted and hand-showers and elegant partial glass partition) off the hallway is finished in Travertine with good lighting and plenty of storage space.

The dining room is furnished with an elegant round Travertine table and 6 rare Castiglione chairs. Extensive built-in mirror-front cupboards and sideboard are fully stocked with serving pieces and crystal. The dominating piece among other modern art is a rare antique embroidery from India.

The separate, fully modernized kitchen includes a 4-burner gas stove, a convector oven, fridge, separate freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, American coffee maker, microwave, double sink, marbleized countertops and white cupboards. Large sliding windows open for sunlight and fresh air. There is a counter with one chair for preparation or morning coffee.

The library has floor to ceiling bookcases that lead to the painted ceilings dating from 1850. It has a double pullout sofa bed and a built-in desk area and clothes cupboard. There is a small, en-suite bathroom with a shower.

An original cast iron staircase adjacent to the apartment's front door leads to a large, private rooftop terrace that is 800 square feet in size. There is a dining table for six and two lounge chairs with cushions, surrounded by extensive plantings. One week minimum stay; guests can arrive Monday through Saturday.

Location Details
The Penthouse is located near the Opera House in the historic center of Rome, with excellent public transportation. The convenient #64 bus that runs through central Rome linking the main train station with the Vatican is across the street. From the apartment, it is a 15 minute walk to the Spanish Steps.
